I want to use this product as it's fragrance-free, fungal acne-safe, and has an AHA, BUT the problem is that it doesn't have an adequate preservative system. Preservatives like parabens have gotten a bad rap because they supposedly cause cancer, but when you actually read the studies you see that the evidence is flimsy at best. Preservatives are good things!! This has one weak preservative, which is not a broad spectrum preservative system, which is needed to prevent the growth of bacteria. So don't use this product unless you want to wash bacteria all over your body.
